Ice Cream Sandwiches

I found this a long time ago from a website on the internet, I’m sorry that I don’t have the source but I’m just going to tell you that it’s not my recipe. The picture is not mine either, but I’ve been making these for weeks and they are great! Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • Ice Cream:
  • 1 cup young coconut water
  • 1½ cups almond milk, strained
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • ¾ cup chopped soaked dates
  • seeds from 1/4 vanilla bean
  • 2 pinches salt
  • Cookies:
  • 1 cup soaked and dehydrated almonds, ground to flour
  • ½ cup ground golden flax seeds
  • 1 chopped apple
  • 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder (for chocolate cookies) or mesquite pod meal (for vanilla cookies)
  • 10 or more soaked dates
  • water
  • 1 cup chopped young coconut meat (for the ice cream, forgot to put it in the ice cream section)

Preparation

Blend all of the ice cream ingredients until completely smooth (including coconut meat). If you want half of the ice cream sandwiches to have chocolate ice cream in the middle, stir in 2-3 tablespoons of raw cocoa powder in half of the blended cream. Pour the cream into ice cube trays and freeze until frozen. Using a champion juicer with the blank attachment, feed the juicer the frozen ice cream cubes. it will transform into soft serve ice cream! Tranfer the ice cream to a plastic container and freeze until ready to make the ice cream sandwiches.

Process all of the cookie ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth.Add water if needed. Transfer the batter to teflex sheets and spread a 1/4 inch layer of the batter onto each sheet. and dehydrate for 6 hours at 115 degrees F. Use a round cookie cutter to make the cookies. Place the cookies on mesh sheets and dehyrate till crisp.

To assemble the ice cream sandwiches, take a spatula and put a scoop of ice cream on every other cookie. Top with another cookie. I always straighten out the edges to they look nice n’pretty, but they didn’t do that in the picture. Put the ice cream sandwiches in the freezer for 1-2 hours to harden. Enjoy!

These look simply divine! Our family has a B-day coming up. Instead, of a cake, I think we will make these for the occasion. They would be perfect!

have you tried it using an ice cream maker? I don’t have a champion juicer, but do have an ice cream maker. Or, would the food processor work better?

ahhhhh! That looks die-now heavenly! Sounds fattening enough to die now too! But, oh so lovely!

is this an actual photo of this recipe? INTENSE-if it is.

This sounds like it would be really good. Someone should make some and mail it to me.

I can eat a little bit of dehydrated food, and yes, you could use an ice cream maker, or a food prossecor, it’s up to you!

Yes, this is an actual picture of the recipe.

Yes, it ususally depends on the quality of the coconut meat. If you want the best ice cream, you should use coconuts only with thick, rubbery meat, instead of the thin, jelly-like meat. Also, the cookies used sunflower seeds instead of almonds, but when I tried that, it didn’t taste quite right. So the next time I replaced the sunflower seeds with almonds and WOW!! It was amazing. Of course, if you prefer, use the sunflower seeds, I just liked the almonds better. And maybe even adding about 5 heaping tablespoons of almond butter would replace the almonds if you don’t have almonds on hand. 3 And if you can’t wait for the cookies to dry, just freeze them for 3 hours! It shouldn’t be too different. Let me know how they come out!!
